Really like the original way you've composed this. And great, moody sky too.

very dramatic composition and color...the statue almost comes to life as a result...

“Now, if only I had thought to rename the parasol an umbrella, I could be carrying one right now.”

By tilting the statue a bit you made it come alive and it seems to be walking carrying a little bird - the sky is a dramatic background. One can read so many meanings into this image.

Good composition and a splendid b/w. It's a good hommage to the philosopher.

Very nice. With the square shape and the corner shading it looks like a medium format film shot

I agree the composition is creative and adds emotion. I also like the black and white and vignette here.

You are invoking the 'universal' forms, that which the great philosopher described, in bringing this image to life. It has the essence of the great thinker himself, top shot.

nice point of view and atmopshere here! it makes Aristotle look so grand, except there's a bird resting on him so it reminds one that it's just a statue.

Aristoteles as if he were among us. And actually he continues among us in many ways.
